I never saw the morning 'til i stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until i stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until i needed a song.

I never saw the white line, 'til i was leaving you behind
I never knew i needed you 'til i was caught up in a bind
I never spoke 'i love you' 'til i cursed you in vain,
I never felt my heartstrings until i nearly went insane.

I never saw the east coast 'til i move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal,
Tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.
